In need of a fabulous outfit for the weekend?

Maybe you're like me and constantly have an urge to wear a brand spanking new top for Friday or Saturday night.

It's a major problem...yes...

a major shopping problem.

Well, since this problem isn't going away anytime soon, might as well buy clothes at the stores that are designed for the college budget. Here are my top shopping spots ranked and reviewed from lowest to highest priced clothes.


Charlotte Russe

Shop online!: http://www.charlotterusse.com/clothes

You may or may not heard of Charlotte Russe. It is not the most popular store in the mall but I personally snag the deals here. It has a similar vibe to Forever21, however, CR has a huge boutique feel. The store layout is not as messy as Forever21 which is a plus, but I would still say some areas are more clustered and cluttered than others. There is ALWAYS a huge rack of sale clothes (again just as Forever21 has a large section of sale items); these clothes are neatly organized and separated into sections such as denim skirts, tanks /shirts, and dresses. Bustiers, hats, mesh tanks, body chains, tanks, and dresses such as midi and mini's are all priced around $4.99 - $9.99. Very exciting sales here.

Forever 21

Shop online!: https://www.forever21.com/us/shop/

Ah, yes Forever 21. It may just be the messiest store you will ever step into, however, once you shuffle through all the piles, guarantee you will walk out of the store with AT LEAST one item in your hand....I know I always do. Accessories and tanks will be very low-priced in general and once they hit the clearance category they can begin at $3 and end around $10. Most bodysuits, hoodies, body cons, long/short sleeve tops range from $10 - $40. Is the sale section a disaster? Oh yes. Is it worth the effort of diving into it? OH YES. Highly recommend babes.

H&M

Shop online!: http://www.hm.com/us/department/LADIES?gclid=CIu85...

I go back and forth about H&M all the time. I do believe they have stylish clothing designed for all party chicas, however, the quality is questionable. Not sure how many uses you will get out of these babies but they do resemble a ZARA vibe with lower priced items in the long run. If you are in a pinch and need a top or body con ASAP def hit up H&M, they will save you from a potential fashion crisis. Clearance items such as shorts, jackets, jumpsuits, dresses, and of course tanks, will normally be marked-down to about $8 and the highest may be around $40 - $50 on clearance. *Note: some items such as a jumpsuit may range higher than this depending on the style.

PacSun

If you were to walk into my closet, you would most likely find the same PacSun top in about three different patterns....yes my strange addiction is PacSun clothing. These tops are not only amazing quality that will last you more than one year, but they are also comfy as hell. Cute + Comfortable--- I THINK YAAASSS. Lowest priced clearance item ranges from tanks and tees beginning at $10 and jumpsuits and dresses/skirts ranging between $25 - $75. Once again, you will not regret purchasing a Kendall&Kylie jean skirt.

Urban Outfitters

Shop online!: https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/womens-clothing

I LOVE THIS STORE. From the layout of the store, the hand-designed artwork, and of course the fabulous clothes, even if I don't end up purchasing each time I go in, the trip is always worth it. Beginning with accessories, hats, and even bras sold at $10 on clearance, the sweater, dresses and blouses sold are affordable as well. These items range from $14.99 - $19.99. Obviously, Urban is a high-end store directed towards the young population, however, the higher clearance items may not be in your price range. Some jeans and mini-dresses begin at $100 and can end around $200.


Express

Shop online!: https://www.express.com/womens-clothing

From scoop neck tanks, to classy bracelets, the lowest clearance item that is normally sold at EXPRESS ranges from $9.99 - $10.99. However, if you are are gravitating towards the "I belong on the runway" styles these clearance items are priced $100+.


ZARA

Shop online!: https://www.zara.com/us/en/woman-c270086.html

For a top, ZARA's clearance I would say is a bit on the higher end ranging from $40 - $100. Still, not shabby deals, however, most tops I would say are business, work, and some nightclub outfits. Not my favorite place to shop, but I have found tops here and there that fit into the "let's get shit-faced" category.


Whether you are a shopping addict (like myself) or are just looking for a killer going-out outfit, find your look at these stores whether that may be shopping online or physically going to the store, I am sure you will find what you are looking for all within your college-status-budget.

Be safe. Party hard and kill it my loves.

Much love.

~ xoxo

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
